After trying several drugs in the (almost) 10 years since I've been diagnosed, I've ended up on Cimzia. I've been on it almost a year, prior to my last resection to date. I had my most recent injections today.
EVERY month, about a half hour after the injections, I get lethargic, then I become achy, nauseous, headache and generally so ill that I have to come home from work. :ybatty:
Each month I think to myself, "I can get through the day without leaving", and each month I have to come home and just sleep the rest of the day. After sleeping for many hours, I still feel slightly lethargic, but overall, better. :confused2:
I'm covered at work under FMLA, but I hate the absences.
Does anyone else have these kinds of side effects? I'd like tp hear what others have to say about Cimzia. Do you like it? Do you not like it?
I don't see the benefits of being on it at this point. :voodoo:
